If he could produce those big plays on a regular basis, he'd be All Pro. But he's been in the league 5 years now. Unless he is the Rich Gannon of tight ends, it isn't happening.Originally posted by Afrikan:Originally posted by TheXFactor:Originally posted by Afrikan:Look at yall.
Dude had 10 catches for 112 yards against the #1 Defense... in a playoff game.
Yet yall are going out of your way to downplay his production? Hahahaha bu..bu...but why?
B/c they are butthurt we got rid of a potentially good Balkee player
Maybe or it's just in their nature.
Seems that's how it is now a days...choose a side.
Some brought up Kittle in this thread... I'm just because I don't hate on Vance doesn't mean I don't like Kittle more. If I had the choice between them two... I'd take Kittle. As a back up... I might take Celek over Vance because of availability and dependability.
But if I were starting a franchise with no TE.. I'd take Vance over Celek...and a number of other TEs.... based off Vance's potential and natural ablity.
As far as Baalke... same thing.... either sucks or he doesn't for them all the sudden.... no middle ground. Hate hate hate...lol. Times we live in.
And I don't even care for Baalke after forcing that 2015 Oline on our offense. Devey, Martin, and Pears.
I hear ya... but like I said in the previous page... if the Steelers are going to trust him and give him so many passes in their most important game of the season.... while not giving the rock in those situations to AllPros like Brown or Bell....as well as playmakers like Juju and Bryant.
He must be doing something right in practice. He came through for them in a playoff game.
